soarE OF TIE DIFFICULTIES.
One Of the difficulties In the way
which San Francisco dealers do not ex-
perience, ia that only one line Of steam
era is available, although Il IL nov otfsr
ina Inducements 10 shippers. In eaz
Francisco, where there are several liuel
Of steamers, besides sailing vessels, thl
dealers are oftea solicited 70 maxi
shipments With eeFtain vessels IN oEdel
10 Aii the freight space. Under such
circumstances The dealers can elmos
name their own rates. In addition q
this disadvantage Is another possible
one, namely, The policy Of the CANADIAN
Paeihe, which is outlined by the Mime
ap5lis NlLsr AZ follows:
~OaF Pacific Coast millers must b
vigilant and energetic IN looking aftel
their growing houF trade With Chini
and Japan. The Canadian Pacific rail
way hes nothing 20 lose and everything

tsFirg policy Of the Dominion govern

ship lines may enable the Manitcoi
millers 10 drive Pacific Coast douF on
